Kyle Naughton out to rile deadly rivals

It’s crucial for Spurs too and I have already seen a lot of tweets from Spurs fans telling me that I have to win it for them!

Naughton has been an impressive performer for Norwich this season, but is also keen for his old pals back at Tottenham to secure third in the table.

England Under-21 full-back Naughton said: “As a Spurs player, it’s obviously going to be a massive game for me and it’s one I really want to win.

“It’s crucial for Spurs too and I have already seen a lot of tweets from Spurs fans telling me that I have to win it for them!

“But even though I am still a Spurs player that’s not why I’m so desperate to win the game.

“I just want to win it for Norwich.”

Paul Lambert’s Canaries are now mathematically safe from relegation so the pressure will be off at the Emirates today.

But Naughton, 23, on a season-long loan from Spurs, said: “We definitely don’t see it as a job done yet because we still have two games left and we want to win them both.

“There’s no way the manager would let us go into a game thinking that.

“The manager will be as professional as ever, treating it just like the first game of the season.

“Whatever happens it’s been a great season for me and I think I have done everything that has been asked of me. It’s been my first time playing regularly in the Premier League and I’ve got a lot of games under my belt.

“I feel that I’m a Premier League player now – but I have to do it again next season as well, whether it is with Spurs or Norwich.”

Lambert said: “Staying in the Premier League is our biggest achievement – it outweighs everything else we have done here.

“So the pressure is off and we can go to Arsenal and enjoy ourselves and hopefully we can give it a right go.”
